What a fantastic game!!! It reminded me at times of the original Ninja Gaidan on the NES in terms of the skill jumps and things that had to be accomplished. Bosses were challenging w/o being ridiculous. I also liked that there were multiple paths to take at times and that it seemed like you couldn't open all the doors on the levels, which was super cool. I definitely looked around for ways to get all the doors open, but there were some I couldn't find a way to get open. *shrug* Story was also interesting. It seemed one dimensional at first, but evolved quickly into something worth playing the game to see where it went. I can't wait for part 2!! DEVS: It would be nice to have an option to make the dialogue display all at once

Want a good 2D action game with a dash of platforming? This is your game. Literally, a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end. I can't recommend this game enough. A true cult classic. Excited for a sequel. Definitely, a must have. Great job Devs.

It has a simple challenging, really tight and fun combat system, RATCHET AND CLANK planet loading screens. A huge nostalgia trip and engaging gameplay, what's not to love

Oct. 2024

Great game. Unique movement, creative animations and an engaging story. Very chill game to play.

Heel moeilijke platformer vol valschrikken maar wel eentje met mooie, doch niet te drukke graphics. De gevechten zijn erg uitdagend, alsook sommige bewegende platformen die je meerdere malen crushen. Ook word je dikwijls geroosterd, geëlektrocuteerd en kom je om in bijtend zuur. Ik ben absoluut geen platformgamer dus kan het wel zijn dat ik het mis heb qua moeilijkheid. Ben je al heel wat gewoon in dit genre dan kan ik je deze met plezier aanraden, ben je eentje zoals ik dan is er nog steeds de WeMod cheattrainer ! Daarom het duimpje omhoog ! :)
